Received a pre-approval from Cap1 in the mail for a secure card, should I accept it....

Should I accept the offer from Capitol one? Currently I have an unsecure Cap 1 card, Secure Discover and Secure BofA cards. WIll a secure Cap 1 card really benefit me since I have the unsecure Journey Card?

You already have two secured card no need to get another, plus you have a unsecured Cap1 card let that grow. It will not benefit you and taking 3 hit. Every now and then check cap1 for prequal when your scores go up.

I have to agree, you already have at least 3 cards with one of them being an unsecured Cap1 card, getting a secured Cap1 card (which will never graduate into an unsecured cared) is not going to significantly help your profile.

Thank you all for the advice. Greatly appreciated. Won't be getting the card.
